Chargers Closer to Picking Up Steve Fuller

The Chargers moved even closer to signing former Bear quarterback Steve Fuller Monday.

Fuller attended the team’s informal morning workout Monday and threw briefly after running half-sprints with the other quarterbacks after practice.

“It’s just a matter of crossing some t’s and dotting some i’s,” team spokesman Rick Smith said.

Wide receiver Anthony Miller, the team’s No. 1 draft choice from Tennessee, pulled up with a sore right hamstring during the Monday workout. Smith said it was “nothing serious.”

Bruce Allen, Miller’s Phoenix-based agent, says he doesn’t expect contract negotiations to begin in earnest until the end of June.

Charger offensive lineman Sam Claphan is being investigated for possible drunken driving in connection with an accident in Tierrasanta that left six cars damaged early Sunday.

Claphan, 31, was driving a rental car when he plowed into a parked car, police said. The force of the impact shoved the stationary car into four other cars parked along the street.

Claphan, a seven-year veteran, suffered a minor hand injury and was taken to Sharp Memorial Hospital, where he was treated and released.

San Diego State football player Bart Kalbach, who has played center on the Aztec punting unit the past two seasons, is listed in critical condition at the Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix, Ariz., after injuries sustained in an automobile accident late Friday night.

Kalbach, 22, is currently a quadriplegic, although his long-range prognosis is unclear. Kalbach is between his sophomore and junior seasons at San Diego State.

According to police reports, Kalbach was returning from a fishing trip on the Colorado River late Friday when the accident occurred on Interstate 8 in Winterhaven, Calif., near the California-Arizona border.
